Before the first pull

Ghosts of the Deep repeatedly asks the team to recognize a Hive rune, remember it, and match it somewhere else. The symbols have no official spoken names. A useful convention is to choose short, visually distinct terms such as Burger, Dots, Lines, Table, Turret, and U.

Lucent Hive and Vestiges

Lucent Hive Lightbearers can revive unless their Ghost is crushed with a finisher. The player who crushes the Ghost receives the Vestige.

Deepsight

Killing the required enemy reveals a dark Deepsight illusion. Interacting grants a short shared view of hidden symbols or ritual points.

1. Break the Ritual quick reference
  • Kill the two Hive guarding the sealed door. Defeat the Soulfire Binder Ogre that appears.
  • A green trail forms and the feed reports that the way forward is revealed. Follow the trail into the forest.
  • At the first stop, read the floating Hive rune before killing the Soulfire Binders. The rune caller says the name; another player repeats it.
  • Kill the Binders. Follow the new green trail to the second appearance of the same rune. Confirm it again, clear the site, and follow the next trail.
  • At the third site, confirm the rune one last time. Kill the Lucent Hive Lightbearer and assign one player to crush its Ghost.

Encounter playbook

  1. 1Kill the two Hive guarding the sealed door. Defeat the Soulfire Binder Ogre that appears.
  2. 2A green trail forms and the feed reports that the way forward is revealed. Follow the trail into the forest.
  3. 3At the first stop, read the floating Hive rune before killing the Soulfire Binders. The rune caller says the name; another player repeats it.
  4. 4Kill the Binders. Follow the new green trail to the second appearance of the same rune. Confirm it again, clear the site, and follow the next trail.
  5. 5At the third site, confirm the rune one last time. Kill the Lucent Hive Lightbearer and assign one player to crush its Ghost.
  6. 6The finisher gives that player Vestige of Light, historically observed at about 80 seconds. The HUD timer is authoritative. Mount Sparrows and return to the sealed door.
  7. 7Kill the Veilweaver Wizard near the door. Interact with the Deepsight illusion it leaves.
  8. 8With the statues revealed, the Vestige carrier interacts with the statue bearing the tracked rune. A correct deposit manifests that ritual statue. A wrong deposit kills the carrier and does not advance the encounter.
  9. 9Repeat the full chain three more times. The fourth correct statue opens the door and awards the encounter chest.
